About Graverobbing
Graverobbing, Action, designed by Edward Beard, Jr., Mike Danza first released in August 1994 in the set Jyhad and was printed exactly in 10 different ways.
Graverobbing is best in **combat decks with Dominate access** that can reliably send opposing vampires to torpor, particularly Tremere or Giovanni builds combining combat pressure with bleed or political threats.
